Edy Ferguson




Edy Ferguson, Selected Works 1993-present,  at the Pireos annex of the Benaki Museum.




On the second floor, so a good opportunity to walk on the ramp again




Edy Ferguson was born in Chicago and now divides her time between London, New York and Athens.

This exhibition was fun. There were installations, paintings, drawings and video. There was music being played in each area of the exhibition, starting with




Hey Jude, 1993 which was played from every single speaker on this wall





We Can All Agree, 1997. (Installation with sound and wall mural - Nirvana, Lithium - Bikini Kill, Feels Blind)




lots of cushions on the floor in every exhibition room




She's Trying to Disappear, 1998-2012





with scenes from the resistance in Athens last year




Untitled, 2003.

I loved the idea of this painting, the way her face is being stretched, melting into the glass




Travolta Sorry, 2009




Janis, 2002




Anita Pallenberg, 2003





The Greek Protester (Eau de Vie), 2010




a closer look




Baby, Baby, 2009

Nine screens, with the Supremes singing, juxtaposed with the fight between Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston.
